The State of Florida, Office of Financial Regulation ("Office"), and DAN LYLE BRAY, JR. ("Respondent") in consideration of the mutual promises herein, recite, stipulate, and agree as follows:
jurisdiction to bring this administrative action against Respondent pursuant to chapter 494, Florida Statutes.
3. Findings. For purposes of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement, the Office
makes no findings.
4. Terms and Conditions. Respondent and the Office agree that the issues raised can
be expeditiously resolved without a hearing and that further litigation can be avoided by the execution of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement. The parties acknowledge that they have read this Stipulation and Consent Agreement and fully understand the rights, obligations, terms, duties, and responsibilities with respect to its contents. Therefore, in compromise and settlement of the foregoing findings and in consideration of the Office's forbearance from further litigation, Respondent agrees to the following terms and conditions:
a. FUTURE COMPLIANCE. Respondent agrees that he shall cease and desist from violations of chapter 494, Florida Statutes, and the rules promulgated thereunder, and comply with all provisions of chapter 494, Florida Statutes, and the rules promulgated thereunder. b. VOLUNTARILY SURRENDER OF LICENSE. Respondent agrees to surrender his loan originator license (number LO55610). The license termination shall be effectuated by the Office on the date that the Final Order adopting and incorporating this Stipulation and Consent Agreement is entered. At that time, any and all rights and privileges pertaining to those holding such license shall terminate.
c. FUTURE APPLICATION. Respondent shall not act as an affiliated party of any
loan originator, mortgage broker, or mortgage lender business licensed or required to be licensed by the Office, nor shall Respondent apply for any license pursuant to chapter 494, Florida Statutes,
for a period of five (5) years from the date of entry of the Final Order adopting this Stipulation and Consent Agreement. The fact that Respondent is not barred by the terms of this agreement from thereafter submitting any such application should not be construed as offering any opinion, suggestion, or insinuation concerning whether such license might be granted by the Office. Any application will be evaluated in the usual statutorily established manner. The facts surrounding this Stipulation and Consent Agreement may be fully considered in any future licensing applications.
5. Final Order. Respondent consents to the entry of a final order, which incorporates
the terms of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement.

In the event that the Final Order is not entered, this Stipulation and Consent Agreement shall be null and void. The Final Order incorporating this Stipulation and Consent Agreement constitutes final action by the Office for which the Office may seek enforcement pursuant to the provisions of chapters 494 and 120, Florida Statutes.
6. Waiver. By Respondent's consent to the entry of a Final Order with respect to this
proceeding, Respondent waives:
a) Any right to separately stated Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law; b) Any right to receipt of a Notice of Rights pursuant to chapter 120, Florida Statutes; c) Any right to an administrative hearing or issuance of a Recommended Order pursuant to chapter 120, Florida Statutes; and d) Any right to contest in any administrative forum or judicial proceeding

7. Releases. Upon full execution of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement,
Respondent waives, releases, and forever discharges the Office and its agents, representatives, and employees from any and all causes of action, in law or in equity, which Respondent may have arising out of this matter.

8. Failure to Comply. Respondent acknowledges, concurs, and stipulates that
Respondent's failure to comply with any of the terms, obligations and conditions of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement and the Final Order adopting it is a violation of the written agreement and the Final Order entered pursuant to chapters 120 and 494, Florida Statutes. Such non-compliance may result in the issuance of an emergency cease and desist order. However, nothing herein shall be construed to limit Respondent's right to contest any finding or determination of noncompliance.
9. Attorney's Fees. Each party herein shall be solely responsible for its separate costs
and attorney's fees incurred in the prosecution, defense, or negotiations in this matter up to and including the entry of the Final Order adopting this Stipulation and Consent Agreement.
